The PowerBeats Pro water and sweat resistance test can be done.
The PowerBeats Pro are water and sweat resistant and carry an IPX4.The Jabra Elite 65t is a good choice if you want a stronger rating for your earbuds.
Both the Apple and Beats websites don't mention an official rating, but Beats has confirmed in a marketing flyer that the PowerBeats Pro has an IPX4 rating.
According to the IPX4 rating, water splashing against the enclosure from any direction will have no harmful effect.
It's normal for an IPX4 rating to be found in workout headphones since the most sweat you're going to get on your Powerbeats Pro is from your body.
Even though the Powerbeats Pro has an IPX4 rating, you should avoid as much contact to the water as possible.
The PowerBeats Pro should not be submerged in water.Devices that can be dunked in water have a very high IPX7 rating and are tested to do so.It's a good idea to keep your Powerbeats Pro out of the rain, a hard downpour could hurt, so watch out for that.
I don't blame you if you're a little nervous about shelling out $250 for a pair of headphones that only have an IPX4 rating.If you want better water-resistance and debris protection, be sure to check out the Jabra Elite 65t, which is rated at IP55 and has a second number for liquid.It has no rating because it hasn't been tested for dust and debris.
I have been using the Jabra Elite 65t for my workouts for a while now and they have worked great.
They have a five hour battery life, are completely wireless, and have onboard controls to control Siri when you want.
The PowerBeats Pro has nine hours of battery life, the ability to listen to each earbud separately, and a snugger fit.
They don't have the interoperability with Apple devices that PowerBeats Pro do, but the Jabra Elite 65t offer a great audio experience, both for listening to music and making phone calls.The earbud design is great for travelers because it keeps the noise out and lets you hear what you need to hear back in.The IP55 rating means you don't have to worry about getting sweaty.
